NARP Laboratory Research Reveals the Impact of SIV Infection on Spinal Cord Gene Expression Background Despite the implementation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-associated peripheral neuropathy (HIV-DSP) remains one of the most common neurological manifestations of HIV infection. Clinical symptoms of HIV-DSP include weakness, numbness, burnin...
Antibiotic-Induced Intestinal Immunomodulation Alleviates Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis (EAN) Academic Background Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune disease that causes inflammatory demyelination of peripheral nerves. As the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis, its global annual incidence is 1-4 cases per 100,000 peopl...
Research Report on the Association between Gene Variants and Neurocognitive Impairment in HIV Patients Over the past few decades, antiretroviral therapy (ART) has greatly improved the health of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, even with effective viral suppression and partial immune system recovery, up to 50% of Peo...
The Sirtuin 5 Inhibitor MC3482 Ameliorates Microglia-Induced Neuroinflammation following Ischaemic Stroke by Upregulating the Succinylation Level of Annexin-A1 Background Ischaemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Its pathogenesis is complex, involving processes such as oxidative stress...
Overview of the Role of RhoA/ROCK/NF-κB Pathway in Microglial Polarization after Ischemic Stroke In recent years, ischemic stroke has become one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. However, effective treatments for ischemic stroke are still lacking. Studies have shown that microglia, as resident macrophages in the central nervo...
Research Report: The Protective Role of Gender on Pain Threshold and Neuroinflammatory Response in Allergic Rhinitis Model Background Introduction Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by allergens, affecting approximately 40% of the global population. Rhinitis not only causes physical discomfort but is also often acc...
Brain-Derived Exosomal Circular RNAs in Plasma as Diagnostic Biomarkers for Acute Ischemic Stroke Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), commonly known as stroke, is a serious condition characterized by interrupted blood flow to the brain, resulting in tissue damage and neurological deficits. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective intervention and manageme...
Endothelin-1 Mediated Brainstem Glial Activation Produces Asthmatic Airway Vagal Hypertonia via Enhanced ATP-P2X4 Receptor Signaling Academic Background Asthma is one of the major non-communicable diseases globally, causing a heavy social and economic burden. Its main clinical symptoms include airflow obstruction, chronic airway inflammation, incre...

This article was completed by scholars Alexander P. Young and Ei...
β-Sitosterol Alleviates Neuropathic Pain by Inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB Signaling Pathway Background Neuropathic pain is a common and difficult-to-treat chronic pain condition in clinical practice, with complex and not fully understood etiology. Research has shown that neuroinflammation is one of the main causes of chronic neuropathic pain. Microglia...
